Default Re: New TPMS do not seem to work

In the United States, TPMS is mandatory for all vehicles produced after September 2007. In the European Union, TPMS is mandatory for all new passenger vehicles released after November 1, 2012
Regarding whether the TPMS needs to be functioning properly in order to pass inspection is up to the individual state. The majority do not require it to be working. Simply check your state's law.
Since all but one year (08) of Crossfires produced were prior to the mandate there is possible recourse/argument that you are entitled to an exemption. Again, check with your state's law.
Exemptions apply regarding vehicle seat belts. If the car is older than 1965, the seat belt law is not valid because cars manufactured before this date often did not have seat belts. Seems the same logic could be used regarding TPMS.
